#RHUB305 As a student who went to a Montessori elementary school this interested me greatly. His central idea of quasi equality among teachers and students reminded me of my relationships w/ teachers. These relationships made my perception of education different than most others.
#RHUB305 I appreciated her advice on writing anything that comes to mind in your first draft. Often when I do this, editing can become overwhelming as there is so much to fix. It takes more time to edit a "shitty first draft", but sometimes the best ideas are in them. (2/2)
#RHUB305 I don't consider myself an amazing writer, b/c it often takes me hours to get my ideas down. I related to Lamott in this way and felt better knowing that even a career writer struggles too. (1/2)
#Rhub305 Before the presentation, I had forgotten what rhetoric meant. I didn't realize it was everywhere and is not limited to written communication. The most important concept is that rhetoric is audience centric, this will be important to remember when we start writing papers.

We want to learn without fearing for our lives.
We want to learn without active shooter drills.

‘The #GreenNewDeal is not just another climate policy … it is a call to redefine politics and establish a new social contract for America.’ — @JusticeDems, @sunrisemvmt, and @AOC are calling on politicians to make a choice: Fossil fuel money or a livable future
I often ask myself what is the purpose of our lives and I conclude that life's purpose is to be happy. We have no guarantee what will happen in the future, but we live in hope. That's what keeps us going.
Not only is it the case that happy people are more willing to help others, but as I generally point out, helping others is the best way to help yourself, the best way to promote your own happiness. It is you, yourself, who will receive the benefit.
Because of the great differences in our ways of thinking, it is inevitable that we have different religions and faiths. Each has its own beauty. And it is much better that we live together on the basis of mutual respect and mutual admiration.
